• Beneath a window. The seal between the window and wall can often become compromised, allowing water to come between them and rot the wood over time.

• Underneath siding. Where siding panels come together or at corners are especially vulnerable spots that water can enter.

• Thresholds of exterior doors. Under the metal plate that serves as the door threshold, the wood can become swollen with water damage as it is gradually exposed.

• Within painted windowsills. If there are many layers of paint on a windowsill, water can seep between them innocuously.

• Beneath the dishwasher. The hoses of a dishwasher can get worn or leak, causing expensive damage to the subfloor underneath.

• Under a tub. The pipes that carry water to a tub can become leaky or weak with time and can leak under the tub without notice.

• Beneath a wobbly toilet. The seal at the base of the toilet can become weak and soak the wood underneath, which is often not noticeable until the toilet begins to wobble on the unsteady flooring.
